Davisons Law, which employs over 470 staff across 17 locations throughout England and Wales, has pledged £10,000 per year to support the ATICUS Paediatric Transplant Trials Network, joining a select group of founding corporate supporters.

Darryl Wilkes, Equity Director for Davisions Law said: "We are incredibly proud to become one of the first members of Club 10. As our chosen charity of the year, Cure Leukaemia's mission to advance treatments for blood cancer patients resonates deeply with our values. Being part of this pioneering initiative that directly supports children's clinical trials across the country is both an honour and a responsibility we take very seriously."

The ATICUS Network is a pioneering collaboration between 11 leading UK Children’s Hospitals to revolutionise clinical trial access for children battling blood cancer. There are two new world-first trials that are ready to open, but require Cure Leukaemia Research Nurses to open, which is why funding the ATICUS network is vital.

Cure Leukaemia’s Business Development Manager Bhupinder Dhillon said: “We are thrilled to welcome Davison's Law as a Club 10 member. Their continued support of Cure Leukaemia is invaluable in advancing the ATICUS network's mission across the West Midlands and the UK, helping to connect children with potentially life-saving treatments and accelerating progress towards eradicating leukaemia. Their commitment demonstrates the power of businesses making a real difference in the fight against this disease, and we hope to see many more organisations follow in their footsteps to support this vital cause.”

As a Club 10 member, Davisons Law will receive regular updates on the network's progress, opportunities to meet clinicians and research nurses, patient stories, and attendance at the annual Club 10 Thank You Dinner.

To follow in the footsteps of Davisons Law and give hope to children and families across the UK by supporting Cure Leukaemia, please contact Bhupinder on bhupinder@cureleukaemia.co.uk
